First song off The Cory Morrow Band's self-titled debut album released in 1997.
I do not own this song nor am I affiliated with the artist, I simply uploaded it because it's a great song that can't be found on Youtube. All copyrights are to the respective artists.
Lyrics:
Well the cold wind blew the preacher grieved
He said they're comin' after me
And I ain't exactly what I seem to be
He pulled his pistol from his side
Pointed it at me and cried
And then he laid a bullet deep in my chest
He stood still revealin' the story
That I knew was true before
And now because of it, I lay dying
He claimed to run with Jesse James,
William Bonnie, and they all the same
I ain't no preacher man I was born of fire
Hey can't you hear that train comin' now
Rollin' fast down the tracks to Hell they bound
Will I'm in over my head again
I hear those pistols layin' down
I have taken the lives of many men
Now the angels comin' down
I said the Angel of Death is comin' around
Yeah Lord take my soul I'm comin' down, yeah
Well up in the horizon
Laid the red sun beatin' cold and dying
And taking with it all the lives the preacher stole
You see the preacher is not real
He clenched his fists of rage and steel
And spite the fires of Satan at your soul
He beat the path to Heaven's door
The angels said they'd take no more
And now he walks the Earth forever alone
And on the stone that marked his death
When he did finally lay to rest
Were the lonely words, "I'm going home"
Hey can't you hear that train comin' now
Rollin' fast down the tracks to Hell they bound
Well I'm in over my head again
I hear those pistols layin' down
I have taken the lives of many men
Now the angels comin' down
I said the Angel of Death is comin' round
Yeah Lord take my soul I'm going down, yeah
Sorry for the lack of video, I really don't know how to do much with Windows Movie Maker, just figured out enough to get the song uploaded since nobody else had a studio version up on Youtube.
